Review "The works of Giordano Bruno have for so long been confined to the Renaissance tradition of Hermeticism and magic, as they were presented by Frances Yates...that it is heartening to find some of them included in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Philosophy, edited by Desmond Clarke. Richard J. Blackwells first ever English translation of two of the final works on magic are free renderings of Brunos Latin, much aided by the recent Italian translations by Albano Biondi...They read well, and it is of great importance that the English-speaking public should at last have available Brunos remarkable General Account of Bonding, which investigates the ways in which minds act on, and react to, one another in a desire for gratification."
